To interact with an agent, you need these capabilities.Learn more about Atlas AI.
Add a time series
To add a time series to your chart:1
Open Add time series
Select Add data > Add time series.
2
Select and add time series
Find and select the time series > Add.For each time series and calculation, explore the different ways to set units and fine-tune the data display. For example, try to adjust the thickness and color of the diagram line. Click for more details.
Add a calculation
To add a calculation:1
Create a calculation
Select Add data > Create calculation.

Trend data
To stack, overlay, and compare trends for time series, click+drag or hover+scroll to adjust and move each diagram axis. Use the Slider on the toolbar to view or compare time series values at a specific time.View and assess data quality
A chart line is shaded if the data quality of a time series is Uncertain and has a gap if the quality is Bad. Use data profiling to assess the quality of a time series and whether it fits your purpose. Data profiling uses the Industrial Data Science Library (InDSL) to define gaps if the time deltas deviate by more than 1.5 times the interquartile range.1
Open Data profiling
In the chart, select Data profiling. Select the time series you want to assess in the Source dropdown list.
2
View quality metrics
Switch between viewing a boxplot and a histogram of time deltas or density.
Set thresholds for historical data
To set thresholds for historical data:1
Open Thresholds
On the top right of the chart, select the Threshold icon.
2
Configure threshold values
In the panel, set the threshold values for time series and calculations.
Add events
You can add events, such as a faulty shutdown, to help analyze time series. To add events to a chart:1
Open Events
Select Events from the sidebar.
2
Configure event filters
Add or select a filter to specify the events to add.
Monitor time series
Time series monitoring jobs send emails for any breaches to the thresholds you set. If there are several breaches within the minimum duration period, you’ll only receive one email for the period. We recommend that you set a minimum duration of 5 minutes to limit the number of email alerts you receive. The minimum expected data point frequency is 1 minute. If the data points have a lower frequency, alerts may not trigger as expected.Create monitoring jobs
